I'm a game graphics coder, going way back to PS2 and Dreamcast. This video overstates things a bit... Somehow, with a little bit of programming, memory is unlimited, bus transfer speeds are infinite, drawing 10,000 triangles onto a single pixel is worthwhile and doesn't result in swim, etc.

The real version of this video would have said that they have new procedural LOD and batching technology that minimizes the content creator's work to get into game at a good frame rate.

I really liked the 3 main games in this series, though the first version I played of the earliest ones were apparently nerfed on the PS2.

Good video too, really synthesized what seemed to be happening with the company teeter-tottering between improving the core mechanics of the squad tactics with appealing to more the quicker twitch FPS play that seems to be the industry default.

The squad tactics are what made these games fun to play, but the inaccuracy of the weapons in iron sites was infuriating. Authentic? Maybe, but I think it was a reasonable criticism and I can see how the over-correction lead to watering down of "what made the game great".

bah sony exclusive...

only console ive ever owned was an atari 2600, then I got a trs-80, moved to Tandy 1000 EX, and every couple years a new pc even the ORIGINAL PS2 made by IBM in the 80's. I'm getting old. Been a PC gamer since age 11, I turned 39 last month.

But Quantic Dream stuff is pretty awesome.

I've never been a fan of Walled Gardens

I'm fine with your other points, but you really think there are not working, funded refugee camps in Turkey?

http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/MSNBC/Components/Photo/_new/pb-120411-syria-refugees-ps2.photoblog900.jpg

Are they amazing? No, but I've never stepped foot in a refugee camp that was (and, yes, for the record I have visited several). Compared to the 30-year-old jungle camps on the Thai-Burma border, these places look pretty well outfitted. They clearly have the infrastructure, support and funding to serve the populations that are there.

What they don't have is the economic infrastructure to allow for good, rewarding work for these refugees. Of course, that is generally the situation for every refugee population. The biggest difference here is that some Syrian refugees have the financial resources to reach Europe whereas most refugees in other parts of the world don't.

Why does the game look like it's for the original Xbox/PS2? Sparse detail, flat textures, and jerky animations.

It will eventually (when we can run PS4 emulators )

So are Team ICO developing this or not? It's certainly got that desaturated look of Ico and-and Shadow of the Colossus, in fact, it really does look like a PS2 game in terms of the engine.

But I care not one solitary rats arse about the engine. The animation is beautiful and the architectural design is stunning.

Ico and SotC were amazing games. They had great puzzles and genuinely engaging stories, all without a line of understandable dialog.

If this actually comes out, I will rent a PS4 to play it, and it will wreck me

Hasn't this been in development since the PS2 came out? Maybe ready for the PS6.

This was painful to watch... so much fail, didn't even get past level 1.

My friend and I beat this game as kids, but we had to use the Konami Code.
If anyone could actually beat this game w/only 3 lives and 3 continues, my hat is off to them!

The 2002 PS2 remake (Contra: Shattered Soldier) was one of the few games I gave up on because it was so ridiculously difficult. (and I've beat VVVVVV)

Also, I have Turbo Graphx 16/PC Engine and Sega Genesis' soundtracks for Aero Blasters and R-Type 1 games.

It's so much funnier when you share the same attitude as Conan about video games.
I heard that the average cell phone by the way, has about 40-100 calories on it at any given time....you could survive for months just licking other peoples' cell phones. The average Ps2 controller would probably provide about 200 calories if you licked that thing clean.

>> ^Revenant2428:

Seeing this again after just playing Dead Space 2 makes me think that this movie had to be a huge inspiration to the devs that made the Dead Space games.


Also, "The Thing" is actually a pretty kickass game for the first xbox and ps2 that serves as a sequel for the movie. John Carpenter helped with production and even has a character in it modeled after him. As a third-person survival game with lots of action, half-human alien-bug monsters, and the isolation of the Antarctic base it's basically an early Dead Space. If you see it in a bargain bin somewhere pick it up, good times will be had.

We are at a place in games where the visual spectical of a game is pushed more by Creative vision than by technical vision,

this trailer fails to impress due to the fact it feels like a cheep amalgamation of film clechayes ( no dobt the visual engine is capable of grate things but only in the hands of people who can use it properly)
I mean shadow of the colossus was on bloody ps2 that game still looks fantastic.

In-terms of showing of an engines capability i would try to show a real world scene rather than a fictional one that way everyone can use there knowlage of the real world to evaluate how strong the engine performs.

as it is the bf3 screens and footage shown so far look far more impressive this unreal engin looks like a early 2000s Nvidea Tech demo.

eathor way What games need are better AI , Better faster development tools , things are very lopsided towards visuals at the moment ( in terms of large studio development priorities) if u were to say visuals were at 100 , AI is at a 5 , phisics 40 , development tools 10 .

only when it is cheep and easy to produce intricate game play will we see deeper more involving games , for example games that are truly open ended or characters that produce there own believable doilog,

Its quite bezire how its largely the low budgit indi studios that are pushing the boundaries with aspects that truly matter in terms of creating sophisticated gaming.

And all those PS3's are PS2 backwards compatible, which makes them 10x more valuable.

Hmm, not sure what's so amazing about this - captioned characters that match the lyrics?
Actually this is my first good look at WoW and I have to say - is that it? Looks like a slightly better PS2 game. I guess the grinding must be super addictive.


What, didn't you read the comments? There's also fishing!
